No, but I would set the archive up like a new list with no messages. I.e. remove the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file, but keep the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/ directory, and remove everything from the archives/private/LISTNAME/ directory and add a archives/private/LISTNAME/index.html file with a page that says the list doesn't archive. Leave the archives/public/LISTNAME* symlink(s) alone. This is because there is code which is executed every time a list object is saved which checks whether the list's archive is private or public and removes or creates the archives/public/LISTNAME* symlink(s) accordingly. This code executes even if archiving is turned off for a list. It only doesn't execute if archiving is disabled for the site with ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = -1 in mm_cfg.py. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
